HoyoFan Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I’ve been really enjoying getting into the world of Montes and realized recently that I haven’t tried any of the robusto’s. So I’m curious what are the flavor differences between these two sizes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corylax18 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 The Edmundo is a bit more than a robusto in girth and length. I've enjoyed the ones I've smoked, chocolate and coffee in the main. I can't remember the last time I've smoked a PE, I rarely smoke petite robustos. The below thread should be helpful: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattb82 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Have both and smoke both. I’m probably in the minority thatvlike the Edmundo better. I think it’s much easier to find quality Petit Edmundo than quality Edmundo though. The pe tends to get slightly bitter on me where the Edmundo is a little more balanced for me. Both great cigars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSXCIGAR Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 General consensus has always been the PE is the stronger of the two. The Edmundo seems to be a bit more refined and tamer. For that reason, I think more people prefer the PE as do I. I like my Montes with a kick and the Edmundo just is a bit too "suave" for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danimalia Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Great topic. I've only had the PE, which is a cigar I love, though I certainly prefer the size of the regular. I've just always heard the PE is superior. Should probably just try a partial box of the regular and double to find out for myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoyoFan Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 Guess I’m going to need to find a sampler of both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wushy Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I've only had the PE thus far and all I can say is that I love this cigar so so much. I'd be interested in trying the Edmundo and Double Edmundo in the future to compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaclub Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 The PE rocks imo. Haven’t had any luck with the double. Have only had a few edmundos. I echo the posts above above the PE having more of an edge. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcicvara Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I was under impression it's the same cigar, PE is just 1" shorter. So I just kept buying Edmundos for $1.55 more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've smoked a lot more PE (possibly only one Edmundo) which as you know I'm not a fan of the size and my 2014 box were initially not to my liking. But as usual time seemed to fix that and prob in 2016 they became really approachable. Down to my last one now. There seems to be a lot more love for PE - certainly remember @westg liking these a whole load! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComancheKeen Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I’ve only had one Edmundo and thoroughly enjoyed it. On the other hand I have a box of 2015 PE’s, smoked through about half of them thus far, and really only enjoyed a couple of them. They have power, but they just seem very flat in term of the Monte DNA I’m used to. I need to try a few from another box to see if I’m missing anything because many folks rave about them.

Wilzc Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 PE lasts at least 60mins for meSo they're perfect examples of what montecristos are aboutSent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stunod Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I’m a little biased. My go to cigar is the Monte PE. Rarely disappoints. 2 years down and they rock. Edmundos are more robust and not as smooth. I just picked up a box from 24:24 with 2 years on them already. I’ll let them sit for a few months and then crack into them. For me the Edmundo is an after meal smoke where the PE is anytime anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
